This document is an 8-page risk register for an HSE project that identifies various hazards and risks associated with construction work. It lists hazards such as electrical equipment, chemicals, falling objects, and improper PPE. For each hazard, it provides details on the potential risks, existing control measures, residual risk level, and person responsible for risk assessment. The risk register uses a color coding system to classify risk levels from very low to high. It aims to reduce all residual risks to low or very low levels.
